| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 3, 2004 Crystal clear, amber/orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention and terrific, weeping lacework. The aroma is a bit breadsy and soapy. The flavor is well-balanced, but pretty bland. Tastes and smells like a mediocre English Bitter. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and light carbonation. Lengthy, tangy finish. jcwattsrugger (5393), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

Tastes of earthy malt, tea, pepper. Hats off to the brewer for donating part of the sale to the Humane Society. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 4, 2007 12 oz bottle. Deep amber beer with a thick tan head. Pretty boring mix of light caramel and toasted nuts. A bit of hoppy earthiness. Sweetish flavour and light bitterness. Meh
